Glasgow 2014 Watch: Day 10 on BBC Sport – TV Guide

It’s the penultimate day of the 2014 Commonwealth Games and Glasgow is set for a sporting feast as 33 gold medals will be won on Saturday, live on BBC One, BBC Three and BBC Red Button.

Britain’s London 2012 poster boy Tom Daley will be hoping to dive for glory on the 10m platform, while Usain Bolt headlines a night of relay racing at Hampden Park as seven days of memorable track and field action concludes tonight.

Elsewhere, all 13 boxing gold medals will be won at the SECC with plenty of home nations interest throughout, the Commonwealth’s best powerlifters compete for honours in the only exclusive para-sport event of the Games, while hockey, netball and table tennis all near or reach their finales today.

ATHLETICS: Scotland’s national football stadium many be hosting possibly its final night ever night of track and field, but Glasgow’s athletics programme ends with a bang as the relay races – men’s and women’s 4x100m and 4x400m relays – take place on the temporary track specially installed for these Games.

Nine finals will take place this evening, and there is no doubt that Usain Bolt will be the star attraction, as he competes for Jamaica in the men’s 4x100m relay.

Somewhat surprisingly, Bolt has never won a Commonwealth Games medal, but he will expect to put that right with his world record-holding team and add gold to his outstanding collection, which includes six Olympic and eight world championship triumphs.

Jamaica will start as clear favourites in what is all being build to be Bolt’s night at the Glasgow Games, though England won the men’s 4x100m gold in Delhi four years ago and while Mark Lewis-Francis is the sole member of that team to reach Glasgow, he could be joined by Harry Aikines-Aryeetey and Richard Kilty, members of Great Britain’s bronze medal-winning team at this year’s inaugural World Relays event recently held in the Bahamas.

On the women’s side, Jamaica are again the world-leading 100m relay quartet this year with Veronica Campbell-Brown and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce among the athletes eligible to form their Glasgow team.

DIVING: Having competed in the synchro version the night before, the 10m platform competition is Tom Daley’s signature event and tonight he aims to defend his title at the Royal Commonwealth Pool in Edinburgh.

Back in 2010, Daley was the world champion with a home Olympic dream ahead of him and now he is the Olympic bronze medallist pushing on to Rio 2016, with plenty of expectation and pressure still on his shoulders.

In the absence of the sport’s dominant Chinese athletes, England’s Daley is the favourite to hold on to his crown, though he must watch out for Australia’s Matthew Mitcham, New Zealand’s Li Feng Yang, who switched nationality when injury brought an early end to his career in China, and Canada’s Maxim Bouchard.

In the day’s other diving event, Canada’s Pamela Ware and Jennifer Abel lead the rankings for the women’s 3m springboard, with Australia’s Anabelle Smith and England’s Hannah Starling also contenders, while Grace Reid, who finished sixth aged just 14 in Delhi, competes for Scotland.

HOCKEY: After a miserable recent World Cup in the Netherlands, England’s women have pulled off somewhat of a remarkable recovery during this Commonwealth Games as they have made it to the final, where will play Australia on Saturday evening at the Glasgow National Hockey Centre.

Having progressed past New Zealand in a tense semi-final on Friday, which went to a penalty shootout, England will have to play out of their skins to beat the Australians, however, in Saturday’s final as they have look in imperious form so far during the tournament, having dismantled South Africa 7-1 in their last four encounter.

BOXING: All 13 Commonwealth boxing titles are decided in two marathon sessions on Saturday, including 10 men’s events and for the first time three women’s events.

Only two of 10 finals went ahead without British participation back in Delhi four years ago, resulting in gold medals for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, so expect medal success for the home nations on a packed day of finals at the SECC.

POWERLIFTING: More power a precision is required in powerlifting as four gold medals are available this exclusive para-sport event, with a formula which multiplies a competitor’s bench press by a figure representing their bodyweight is used to decide the champions.

Natalie Blake and Ali Jawad will compete for England, while Afghanistan war veteran Micky Yule, injured by an improvised explosive device while serving in 2010, represents Scotland.

NETBALL: After a few days of classification matches, the netball competition reaches the semi-finals and final stages this weekend with England taking on Pool A winners New Zealand.

England have now reached the semi-finals in all five tournaments since netball was introduced to the Games in 1998, but they will be underdogs against the Kiwis, who are aiming to win a third successive Commonwealth title.

In the other semi-final, Pool B winners Australia will face Pool A runners-up Jamaica.
